Ho fatto Terna!

This “art-reality”/video diary was an original format produced for Premio Terna and Artribune. It tells of the adventure from Italy to Russia through images and interviews with the winning artists of Premio Terna 03. Cameras followed the participants in the Prize. They began in their studios, in their city of origin and followed them in Moscow for the opening of the exhibition “(+150) Visione: Origine e Potere. Energia attraverso le Generazioni” at the Multimedia Art Museum of Moscow (MAMM). Eighteen episodes were broadcast through a daily upload on the Artribune web magazine. The result was a gallery of art-documentaries which include micro monographs dedicated to the artists, a logbook of the five days spent in Moscow and two ‘best ofs’.
